Order of Brenda Novak Books
Brenda Novak is an American author who has made her mark writing contemporary romance, historical romance, and romantic suspense novels. Her popular series include Whiskey Creek, Dundee, Idaho, Stillwater Trilogy, Last Stand, Hired Gun, and Bulletproof.
While Brenda now earns her living through writing, her path to authorship wasn't traditional. She excelled in math and science during her school years and pursued business studies in college. After leaving her education to raise a family, she worked in commercial real estate before becoming a loan officer. When she eventually turned to writing, it was a five-year journey to master the craft and complete her first novel. She shares her life in Sacramento, California with her husband Ted and their five children.
Brenda Novak's publishing career began in 1999 with her debut novel Of Noble Birth. Below is a list of Brenda Novak's books in order of when they were originally released:
